  1. no it is not strange..soe people do this in order to create a sense of anticipation and newness entering into the marriage. If this works for you (some men wouldabsolutely not go for it), then by all means do it!
  2. I wish you well--everything will work out somehow. I must ask why your sister chose not to contact the wedding coordinator before now or send her paperwork within the 30-day requirement?
  3. Does anyone know of a good facial moisturizer that is less than $10? I was using Aveeno Positively Radiant, but I can't afford an $18 moisturizer any more Bridget - Cetaphil is great!
  4. you can definitely purchase things for your OOT as there are shopping plazas within distance of the hotel or you can also take a taxi. I would get any alcohol related stuff at the airport as it is cheaper.
  5. See if you can have a 1:1 with your dad and get the scoop. Try not to pre-judge not having had a conversation though its hard. You have to also accept the fact that this whole scenario of excuses will become the story of you guys lives. It is very disappointing but it also tells the story of who is truly in your corner or not.
  6. Has anyone tried the hair straightening system called the Brazilian Keratin Treatment or also known as the Kerating Protein Straightening Complex? If so, please briefly describe hair type, length of time it lasted (especially if you work out) and cost factor. It would also help if you mention ethnicity as well because my search has only yielded reviews from my caucasian sisters and I need to find out how well this works on african american hair. Thanks for your responses.
  7. Firstly, try not to create any more stress on yourself. You will find out the source which will be half the battle. Yes men, really either do not deal well or will be overly emotional. One of those things. I would try expressing this to FI and hopefully he can recognize how u r feeling. I wish you well.
  8. IMO in-laws are so over-rated and people way too sensitive...I would for face sake, point it out just to clear the air...
  9. Likewise I htink its best to stay with the instructions and as directed....
  10. soounds like you have a lot to pull togther but remember in the end everything always works out! I would recommend that you set hard deadlines for getting everything done, especially the dresses as August will be here before you blink, and is really not that much time left considering your priorities. Tell your MOH to get the dress, hopefully they have her size and get it altered at the end but I recommend ordering soon. Some dresses take up to 3 months to ship so you would be cutting things very close.
  11. Life goes on....plan what you need to plan and tell her to get in line......She is way out of line and you have been more than gracious already. But be prepared for her trifling behavior to continue
  12. as you said, the full pic has not been painted but it sounds like it was just stress magnified and maybe action on both sides happened before you both had a chance to think things through? if there is a chance of reconciliation and that is what you want, given no "dealbreakers", take your time and do what is best for you and London. Wish you well.. Hugs
  13. Since when does being thin define how beautiful a person is? Things like this make my blood boil cause the MIL is being totally childish and out of pocket--way out of pocket. I would ask FI to talk to his mom and she needs to apologize for being so insensitive! Why would the mother make this about her by not coming? She will be the one with regrets and if she loved her son without conditions SHE would attend for him. This should not be contingent on an apology from you. The friggin nerve of her...MILs are so overrated!!!
  14. I recommend hemming your dress with a heel that is no more than 2 - 2.5 inches and make sure it looks good before you wrap up loose ends there. That way if u wear something flat on the beach or barefoot, it will not reflect badly when you have to take photos that require walking in your other shoes for photos.
  15. Relax.....as said do the essentials and everything else will fall into place. Can't stress that enough
  16. you will be bored now but after a while there will be so many little items/details to do. have you written your vows...selected your cake,, programs style, programs, actual invites, welcome letters, timelines for guests, etc...there are tons of small details that can add up but you are fortunate to have so much time in which to pace yourself!
  17. I got mine from makingmemoriesandmore.com. It was engraved and all--really nice!
  18. there are tons of links on te net and planning boards for incorporating your child into a ceremony including the vows. That will be special....
  19. mine got messsed up to en route home so pack it tightly is all i can recommend. if it settles pour more into the bottle...
  20. Yes I believe that calla lillies and flowers that are special order requires advanced notice. Otherwise you can just let her know what you want when u get there. I would recommend sending her a list of your general ideas...
  21. the spoiler site that i DEPEND on has not been updated in a couple of days and i have no clue what is going on..Kevin has lost his mind, Kay DNA still does not match Jill for whatever reason and Sharon has turned into a doorknob, everyone having their turn.....I am so lost!!
  22. I would recommend that you go with the hotel that is most cost effective so your guests can be able to stay there. Are you prepared to pay guest passes for those that stay elsewhere instead of the hotel where your wedding will be?
